Call for Gold Rush Festival volunteers

Council is putting the call out to the community to help make this year’s Gold Rush Festival celebrations one of our best ever.

The Gympie Gold Rush Festival is being held from 18 – 20 October 2019 and includes an evening lantern parade, a carnival, and a community picnic day.

Council is seeking support from volunteers for the parade and carnival events with activities such as event registration, crowd marshalling, general event set up and pack up, event runners, assisting performers and bar service. 

Volunteers are being asked to commit to a 4-5 hour shift, with volunteers being able to nominate the types of activities they would like to do and their preferred times.

Council’s events team is hosting a volunteer briefing session at 6pm on Wednesday, 16 October 2019 to explain the different roles. 

People interested in volunteering for the festival will need to complete a volunteer application forms. Completed forms can either be emailed to [email protected] or handed in at the volunteer briefing session.
